Feed Drop: AIGA Design Podcasts, "The Black Experience in Design: Identity, Expression, and Reflection"
44:11
Spring break nears its end (just in time for spring in Portland to actually begin), but not without a feed drop from our friends at AIGA! This special episode of the AIGA Design Podcasts feed features past guest and Director of Design Content & Learning at AIGA Lee-Sean Huang in conversation with the incredible Anne H. Berry, Jennifer Rittner, and Kelly Walters about their book The Black Experience in Design: Identity, Expression & Reflection as part of the the 2022 AIGA Design Conference in Seattle. The Black Experience in Design is an anthology centering a range of perspectives, spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens. Through the voices represented, this text exemplifies the inherently collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of design, providing access to ideas and topics for a variety of audiences, meeting people as they are and wherever they are in their knowledge about design. This panel, featuring some of the book's editors, reflects on the process of publishing the book, and highlights some of the themes contained within the perspectives and stories within. The panel is fantastic, and I'd highly recommend picking up a copy of the book from the Black Experience in Design website, directly from Skyhorse Publishing, or wherever you find books! Special thanks to AIGA and Lee-Sean Huang for this feed drop—go check out and subscribe to the AIGA Design Podcasts feed, and go check out some what'll be happening as part of the 2023 AIGA Design Conference to be held in NEW YORK CITY?! If you're listening to this on the day it comes out and you're in the Portland metro area, please come pay my students a visit at Be Honest, our humongous student portfolio showcase event at Wieden+Kennedy! It'll be a good time! This episode was recorded by AIGA as part of the 2022 AIGA Design Conference in Seattle, Washington, on October 22, 2022. Hosted on Acast.

Sean is venturing out into the world to record a few new guests in parts unknown, and new episodes will return August 25. Until then, though, we’ll be taking a cue from summer prime-time TV and pivoting to reruns of “old” favorites—as the extraordinarily lazy 1998 ad campaign for NBC’s summer reruns once put it, “if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!” If you’re hoping to get a friend into the show, though, maybe now’s a great time? Follow the show on some of the things via our website, dididothat.design! You can also find the show’s Patreon there, should you find yourself in a Brewster’s Millions type scenario where you need to get rid of money fast and any old thing will do (or, you know, if you just like this thing and want to help support its production). Either way is fine by me! If you enjoyed this episode and want to support the show, help spread the word! Five-star reviews are always welcome, as are written reviews if you need something to keep your idle hands at bay. Don’t want to deal with the hassle of stars or keys? Telling a friend IRL is a great way to avoid both, and helps the show plenty! Got a story to share? If you’re a graphic designer or know one who might have a story that would be a good fit for this show, reach out! Sean is booking out guests for this summer hiatus and would love to have you on board, especially if you're in the Seattle or Vancouver BC areas. Email hi@seanschumacher.com if you’re interested!

Undercover Blankets (with Brendan Mulligan)
48:45
It’s nearly March 2022, which means it’s time for the last episode recorded in 2021, and it’s one that starts pretty real and raw before pivoting into cookie shoptalk and the usual nonsense. Brendan Mulligan (Nike Tees Graphics and @coolkidbrendan) joins Sean to talk about what they want on their Tombstones, sneeze guards, and the nightmarish realm that is the McDonald's Play Place. What even is design? We’re just talking about specific pastry vendors at the Portland State University Saturday farmers market. Serenity now! You can find Brendan at @coolkidbrendan on many platforms! You can find more about his work at coolkidbrendan.com! You can find Did I Do That? on your podcatcher of choice, or through our website, dididothat.design! You can also follow on both Instagram (@schuseanmacher) and Twitter (@designbycmte)!

Text ahoy! Designer, design historian, and filmmaker Briar Levit joins Sean to talk about the history of rude t-shirts, the secret to eternal life (for magazines), and the great shame of (a) PDA.

A Michael Bay Film in App Form (with Jordan Rosenblum)
52:29
Jordan Rosenblum (visual designer/educator/socially engaged artist) joins Sean to talk blobby blue friends, a whole lot of chrome, and The Egg Space. Sean, meanwhile, spends a solid five minutes talking about a plastic skeleton in an apron at a business he never goes to! It’s the episode that finally diagrams it out for everybody who’s been dying to know: culture is where the RAM slot is and psycholinguistics is the foot. The more attention you draw to it, the more tomblike it feels!Learn more about Jordan’s work at https://jordanrosenblum.com!Follow "Did I Do That?" on some of the things via our website, https://dididothat.design!If you enjoyed this episode, why not tell a friend (please ignore the many obvious reasons why not)?

Apologies if there’s some sound clipping and level mismatches here and there. It's not great always, but it could be worse!

Illustrator-entrepreneur-educator-multi-hyphenate-powerhouse Kate Bingaman Burt joins Sean to talk cheerleading, kiln-based graphic design, and the always enticing vegetable medley. Sean, meanwhile, forgets that it is his job to talk on the show he hosts and unintentionally continues our student publication double-header by editing pre-taped episodes in the wrong order!

Graphic design may be my passion, but danged if it isn't awfully weird to do too. Did I Do That? is all about that! It's a new podcast what it's like to really make design and make mistakes, because you can't do one without the other. Every other week, Sean Schumacher (Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University) is joined by a guest from the world of design with a special story about their own mistakes starting out, how they ended up where they did, and other traditional topics pertinent to podcast listeners like "what was the weather like on the day they recorded this?" and "is this really the name of the show? Like, for sure?" Sound good? Did I Do That? comes out every other Thursday starting December 16. Subscribe now, won't you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. |
